Glossary Collaboration Documentation

This wiki aims to describe everything you need to know about the UX Content Glossary project.

Side: Usable wiki docs can be a challenge to construct, especially when navigation features are limited, as they are here. If you have a suggestion or ... a-hem! ... a gripe about these docs or the collaborative processes described, start a new Issue to share your thoughts. Until that magical moment, you're encouraged to read through the existing material here to get a sense of the big picture.
